Baby shower gift ideas

There’s a lot to do to prepare for the arrival of a little one. And while the new mom-to-be will gladly welcome basic essentials like bottles, bibs and baby wear, why not surprise her at her baby shower with items that are both useful and decorative as well. After all, the essentials will need a place to live. And outfitting a nursery can really add up. Here are 10 creative ideas for baby shower gifts to get you started.
